Join Katie Bahain-Steenman as she shares perspectives on everything Beach Sprints. Katie has coached beach sprints both locally as well as at 2022 and 2025 World Rowing Beach Sprints Finals.
Combining sand and surf, Rowing Coastal Beach Sprints is making its Olympic debut at LA28. The exciting sport features a run, then a row, then another run, to the same start and finish line on the beach. Athletes start with a sprint across the sand to open-hulled boats where they then row 250m out to a turn, navigating through waves and surf. Upon return to the beach, athletes jump out of the boat and run to cross the finish line first. This new sport is an elimination-style, head-to-head race designed for speed and agility.
